Was in a similar situation a couple of years ago. The new ins co that only
covered 50% also made us go thru a certain supplier. For example the box of
reservoirs they charged $350 for, I could go thru Minimed and buy for $97.
Their 50% was basically useless and I did better buying my supplies directly
from MM. Hope yours doesn't turn out this way.
